Carter_MSFTI'd like to know aswell. I've invited my personally created outlook.com account via OneDrive for testing. I can open the directory via web browser and edit all the stuff. But the sync button simply isn't there.

lowang Gary_Worsley We currently only support the B2B sharing sync scenario. We do not support the B2C sharing sync scenario, which is the scenario where a Consumer account wants to sync a folder shared from a business account or vice versa.
